Sputnik is a floor lamp with two minds. Gabriel Teixidó gave it dual switching and a lacquered structure, and the result is versatility and style in one piece.
It is perfect for lighting spacious, contemporary interiors.
The Design Story
Teixidó has designed for Carpyen for decades, and Sputnik continues his taste for functional restraint. A black lacquered metal structure, 183 cm (72.0 in) high and Ø 40 cm (15.7 in) across, holds two separate sources of light, an upper and a lower, each switched on its own. Carpyen makes it in its Barcelona workshops.
About the Designer
Gabriel Teixidó was born in Barcelona in 1947 and trained at the city's School of Applied Arts and Artistic Trades. A freelance industrial designer since 1970, he calls himself a “fairly industrial” designer: his work avoids fashion and showmanship in favor of formal restraint and quiet usefulness. He won SIDI awards for the Bolero chair in 1986 and for the Columba lamp, made by Carpyen, in 1987, and has received the ADI-FAD Delta de Plata several times.
What interests me is that my designs are useful, that people feel comfortable with them, that they are a help.
Why You'll Love It
The pleasure of Sputnik is choice. The upper light, 34 W and 2890 lumens, fills a room generously. The lower light, 15 W and 1350 lumens, gives a gentler, more intimate glow. Use one, the other, or both, depending on the hour. Both are a warm 3000 K. The black lacquer is crisp and graphic and suits spacious, contemporary rooms.
Where It's Best Placed
Sputnik is at home in a large living room, a loft or a gallery-like space. Put it in a corner or beside a sofa. It is for indoor rooms.
